Chapter 14
He did not say anything and was staring at me silently. I could not help but feel nervous with the
proximity of his angular and handsome face to me. The air inside the room seemed to have thinned
out. I got up to open the windows.
Suddenly, he pulled me into an embrace and wrapped both of his arms around me and held me tightly.
“Theo Grant.” Although I did not know why he behaved this way, I did not like being hugged like that.
Although I struggled in his arms, he still did not let go.
The sharp stench of alcohol rose to my nose. Theo was drunk again.
“Let go of me. I’ll pour a cup of water for you,” I spoke softly.
“Will it become hate?” He asked as he hugged me tightly.
I did not understand what he meant and could only look at him in confusion. His lips were slightly apart, This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
and his dark eyes were quite dilated and out of focus. It seemed like he was heavily drunk.
I did not understand how he managed to find her even in such a state.
“Will it change?” He did not give up when I did not respond to him. He stubbornly continued while
looking me in the eye.
“It will,” I told him as I pulled his arms from around me. I tried to free myself from his embrace, but he
held me tightly in a vice-like grip.
“Will you take it back?” He continued asking me as he grabbed my hand like a child to stop me from
moving.
I suddenly understood what he was asking. I did not know what to say. “I don’t know either,” I told him
in exasperation.
He stopped asking me questions. His breath grew erratic as he hugged me tighter.
I held his face and said softly, “Theo, I’m Wanda Lane. We’re about to get a divorce. You can’t do this
to me.”
My words triggered him. He carried me and threw me onto the bed.
“Theo, I’m Wanda Lane. I’m someone that you hate a lot. Take a closer look.” I was on the verge of a
breakdown. I took his face in my hands again and tried to make him take a closer look at me.
He looked up and widened his blurry eyes. He fixed his gaze at me for a few seconds before letting out
a soft affirmative hum.
I remembered that I have a child in me. We must not continue like this.
I grabbed his hand and looked at him. “You’re drunk. Don’t do this,” I said.
I could not help but feel captivated when I saw his child-like smile on his handsome face. Theo looked
different tonight. He was rather cute.
I pushed him away with all my might and got down from the bed. I put on my clothes and left the place.
If I stayed there any longer, I might not be able to keep my child.
It was still drizzling outside.
I started the car and sped along the road. I have gone through too many things lately. I did not know
how to handle them all. I just wanted to run far away and escape from everything. I was afraid that I
would return to the past if I did not vent out my emotions.
I did not know how long I had been driving. The sun had started to rise. When I finally came to my
senses, I realized that I was deep in the mountain area.
I was surrounded by a vast expanse of mountains and woods, and there was no one else around. The
narrow road was windy and seemed endless. I could not hear anything except for the odd squawks of
birds.
Regrets filled my heart. I should not have driven off recklessly on a whim and put myself in the current
position.
I stepped harder on the accelerator as I wanted to leave these woods as soon as possible.
Suddenly, a Tibetan Mastiff rushed out in front of my car, and I immediately stepped on the brakes. It
seemed that I was too late as I could feel my right car tire run over something.
I was doomed. I took a deep breath and sat in the car without moving. I dared not go down from the car
to take a look.
I sat there motionlessly for a long time until someone knocked on my car window, which brought me to
my senses.
I turned around and saw a tall man standing outside my car window. His expression was grave, and his
face was full of stubble. He looked terrifying.
When he noticed that I was not moving, he pointed at my car tire and gestured for me to get down the
car.
